Four Californians on climate task force

Four Californians were named Friday as members of a 26-member task force to address climate change.

The Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience, announced by President Barack Obama, will advise the Obama administration on how the federal government should respond to the needs of communities nationwide that are dealing with the impacts of climate change, the White House said.

Also on Friday, the president signed an executive order that “directs federal agencies to take a series of steps to make it easier for communities to strengthen their resilience to extreme weather and prepare for other impacts of climate change,” the White House said.

Royce to host ‘Paying for College’ seminar

Rep. Ed Royce, R-Fullerton, will host a free seminar on paying for college from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, at the Buena Park Community Center. The event’s keynote speaker is Rebekah Bell, who wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed in July explaining how she graduated from Biola University in La Mirada, debt-free.

“Every student should have the opportunity to go to college, despite the rising costs,” Royce said in a statement. “This seminar will help arm interested students and their families with the information necessary to identify and take advantage of programs that can help address their financial concerns.”

The event is a collaboration of Royce, the city of Buena Park, Buena Park High School and Buena Park Rotary.
